the invention is practiced by sending instructions over the radio, a convenient way of practicing the invention is to print in a newspaper a chart which will appear as in Fig. 1 or as modified, Subscribersto the. paper can then receive instructions over the radio and make the drawing'on the chart lhis ento interest those who already take it,.by ardirections over the radio applicable to the particular chart printed in the newspaper.

It will be understood, however, as previously pointed out that the chart may be used in ,the practice of the method by following direc- 1 tions which are printed or which are given by letter, the telegraph, or otherwise.

' Referring to Figure 1, the person making the drawing places a ruler (illustrated in Figure 2 at 6) at any designated point as, for instance, at the letter B of line A-B indi-. cated by the numeral 5. The drawing or ruling edge of the ruler 6 passes over or interseots a certain dot or marking-on one of the margins of the chart and the instructions 1 given state how long a line should be drawn alongthe edge of the ruler 6 from the point B toward the designated dot or marking. The ruler is then placed at the extremity of the line which has been drawn and the instructions having been followed tohave the ruling edge pass over another designated dot and a line of a certain length drawn, this procedure is followed. Thus, by a series of straight lineswhose direction and length are plotted t the drawing composed of straight lines as J by the draftsman under the instructions given, a completed outline or picture is drawn as shown, for instance at 7 in Fig. 3.

Now, the draftsman can shade and change shown at 7 so that a more finished and artistib drawing may be produced with little difliculty shown at 8 'inFigure 4.

The method of producing the drawingis illustrated in Figure 2 where the chart ap-. pears 'at 9 on a sheet 10, the ruler is shown at 1 6 and the pencil or drafting implement appears-at 11 in the hand of the person making the drawing. The partially completed outline -of the drawing shown in Figure 3 appears at 12.

Referring to the method of producing the specific drawing shownat 7 in Figure 3, the followlng procedure is followed. With the drawing edge of the ruler 6 resting at th point indicated by the letter B and the drawing edge crossing the number 23 on the marcated at 14. Thus, the work progresses with the ruler placed so that its edge intersects a designated point on the margin and is drawn for a given designated distance, until the complete outline of the drawing is made, the point B or the point-A being used as the base 'pointmr the terr'ninus of-a-linealready drawn y the draftsman being used in conjunction with one of the designated points on the margin, until the drawing is completed in outline. The person making the drawing may then shade up the different parts or break up their straight lines or angularities and obtain a more perfect representation of the object, person, animal, fowl, bird, etc.

What I claim is:

The method of producing a drawing com posed of a series of lines whose length and direction follow apre-determined plan and whose delineation will produce a complete drawing, consisting in placing a ruler or straight-edge in successively difiering positions on a sheet or chart having a blank surface provided with an indexed-starting point and also flanked by irregularly placed in:-

cdexed points or location, successive ones of the irregularlyplacedindexed points being intersected by the ruler or straight-edge while lying across said blank part, drawing a line of predetermined length and position on the blank surface from the indexed starting point on the blank surface when the ruler or straight-edge is thus used, andcontinuing I lie gin, the" short line 13 is first drawn for a distance of one eighth of airinch.

The next step is to place the edge of the ruler at the point B and-also intersecting the point which is designated 12 onthe right handmargin of the chart and to draw a line one inch ong,'toward the point 12, as indi
